Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji Asbāb al-Nuzūl sebagai pendekatan penting dalam penafsiran Al-Qur'an. Penelitian ini fokus pada peran Asbāb al-Nuzūl dalam memahami konteks wahyu sejarah untuk mendapatkan makna ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an yang lebih akurat dan komprehensif. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian pustaka kualitatif, yang menganalisis tafsir Al-Qur'an klasik dan kontemporer serta literatur terkait di bidang Ulama Al-Qur'an. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Asbāb al-Nuzūl memiliki urgensi metodologis yang signifikan dalam penafsiran Al-Qur'an, khususnya dalam mencegah salah tafsir, memperjelas keyakinan hukum, dan memperkuat hubungan antara teks wahyu dan realitas sosial-historis pada saat wahyu diturunkan.

Abstract

This study examines the interpretation of Surah Ar-Rum verse 41 regarding the concept of fasad as an ecological crisis according to Hamka and M. Quraish Shihab. Using a comparative approach, it highlights how their epistemological constructions and social backgrounds shape their understandings. Hamka interprets fasad as moral and spiritual decay resulting from a weakened human-divine relationship. Conversely, Shihab views it as the tangible impact of human exploitation and environmental pollution. By analyzing textual structure, social cognition, and historical context through Van Dijk’s theory, the study finds that while both scholars utilize similar sources, they differ in methodology and nuance: Hamka’s interpretation is characterized by moral preaching, while Shihab’s is contextual and applied. These findings underscore that Quranic exegesis is not merely textual but deeply influenced by the social and ideological factors that shape ecological narratives within the interpretation.

Abstract

This paper examines the authenticity of the mushaf utsmani by highlighting three main aspects: the historical process of the Uthmanic codification, the evidences supporting its authenticity, and the views of Orientalists along with the Muslim scholarly rebuttals concerning the Uthmanic mushaf. The background of this research stems from the increasing modern critiques of the Qur’an’s textual authenticity, which necessitate a comprehensive re-examination. This research employs a historical approach and Qur’anic sciences through a qualitative–descriptive library research method, critically analyzing primary and secondary sources related to the history of the Uthmanic codification process.. The findings indicate that the authenticity of the Uthmanic mushaf can be demonstrated by tracing the historical stages of codification from the time of the Prophet, Abu Bakr, and finally ‘Uthman. Its authenticity is further reinforced by three fundamental pillars: the consensus (ijmāʿ) of the Companions, the consistency of the Uthmanic script (rasm), and the mutawātir recitations transmitted directly from the Prophet. The discussion also includes the critiques of Orientalists and the Muslim scholarly responses that academically affirm the integrity and genuineness of the text. This study concludes that the Uthmanic mushaf possesses strong historical and methodological foundations, and therefore remains the authentic and authoritative reference of the Qur’an to this day.  Keywords:  Authenticity of the Mushaf Utsmani, History of Codification, Orientalist Critique

Abstract

This study analyzes the historical background of Quranic recitation unification during the reign of Caliph Uthmān bin ‘Affān and its significant impact on textual preservation. The expansion of Islamic territory led to various dialectal differences (sab’atu ahruf) that potentially caused communal division among Muslims. Utilizing a library research method with a historical-analytical approach, this study finds that the unification initiated by Uthmān was not merely an administrative policy but a crucial socio-religious strategy to maintain the authenticity of the revelation. The results indicate that the standardization into the Uṡmānic Mushaf successfully prevented textual alterations and provided a definitive legal framework for the science of Qira'at in subsequent periods. Consequently, this unification ensured the stability of Quranic transmission across generations and regions.

Abstract

The phenomenon of Qur’anic revelation represents a multidimensional process encompassing theological, cosmological, and communicative-historical aspects. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the stages of revelation, the angelic mediation involved, and the various modes through which the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ received divine messages, including the concept of sab‘ah aḥruf (seven modes). Using a qualitative method with a library research approach and descriptive-analytical analysis, this paper examines both classical and contemporary sources such as al-Suyūṭī, al-Zarqānī, and Manna‘ al-Qaṭṭān. The findings reveal three main stages of revelation: its inscription in the Lauḥ al-Maḥfūẓ (Preserved Tablet), its descent to Bayt al-‘Izzah, and its gradual transmission to the Prophet through the Angel Jibrīl over 23 years. The Prophet experienced revelation in diverse forms—true dreams, divine inspiration to the heart, sounds resembling ringing bells, the angel’s appearance in human form, and direct communication with God. Furthermore, the concept of sab‘ah aḥruf illustrates the linguistic flexibility of the Qur’an, providing ease for diverse Arab dialects. This research concludes that revelation is not merely a vertical transmission of divine text but a structured divine-human communication process, enriching contemporary Qur’anic studies.

Abstract

QS. Al-An‘ām [6]: 99 affirms the ontological relationship between water, plants, and the continuity of life as an expression of Divine power and an ecological mandate for humanity. This study examines the implementation of Qur’anic ecotheological values in sustainable agricultural practices at Yoso Farm, an agroecology community in Klaten, Central Java. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the research combines a literature review of classical and contemporary tafsīr with field observations of Yoso Farm’s agricultural system. The analysis focuses on how religious values are integrated into agroecology-based environmental management. The findings indicate that Yoso Farm embodies the principles of mīzān (balance) and maṣlaḥah (public good) as implied in QS. Al-An‘ām [6]: 99. These practices frame environmental stewardship as ‘ibādah and affirm the human role as khalīfah, offering a Qur’an-based framework for sustainable development rooted in Islamic spirituality.
